I was in Ibiza, Spain for vacation recently. I noticed two people sat very close to me though there was plenty of seating in the lobby of a hotel. I had a strange feeling they were trying to tack my iPhone so I immediately shut it down and pretended to talk on my phone. When I did that, one person looked at the other person like, “what just happened?” I continued to pretend to talk on the phone and got up and left while laughing loudly. My comment may not be relative to this topic, but I want to share what happened to me.

Landline phones these days are ultimately digital. The entire country switched over to digital in June 2009. Not even close to the landline phone of the past being mentioned. True analog landline phones plugged into the walls phone circuitry, and that connected straight out to the telephone poles. If you had a power outage resulting in no electricity to your home, your land line phone still worked, it wasn’t digital. Anyone with landline phones now is digital through your internet provider via cable service or VOIP (voice over internet protocol). Now, if your power goes out bye bye landline communication too. Completely different animal.

[@wadek798]

Because they have supposedly been vetted. I know with a VPN, u can be anywhere in the world, even if youre not. Some people use them as travelers because when they try to access certain things outside the US, sometimes that access is denied, but the vpn can say you are still in the US by the IP address, and still have access.

[@Ms.Ashley-Matthews415]

@latetotheparty7551 no, there is no perception of privacy. People don't realize even going into someone home, they have the legal right to video record you as it's a private residence and you have no perception of privacy other than the bathroom. Anything you post, doesn't go away even though you delete it. Social media companies keep the data as to why the Fedz can retrieve information in criminal cases such as Diddy. When texting someone, those texts can be forwarded to others as well as pictures. So, when I send or post stuff, I do so knowing there is no perception of privacy.

VPN sells your info to data brokers

[@edoe132]

The cell phone providers will give law enforcment officers your data with or without a court order or your permission. Also, NEVER plug your cell phone into a free charging station without turning off your phone. Some scamers uses phony public charging station to get your data off of your phones. Never send personal data (Banking or password changes) on a puble Wi-Fi network without using a VPN (Virtual Private Network) client on your mobile device. Although you are still connecting to the cell phone providers servers, using a VPN client will encrypt your data on their servers. Paying for a VPN service is the best way to go in protecting you data. Most APPs will want full permissions to contacts, camera, micphone, location, etc on your phone. Question these requests to yourself before you give a blanket "Yes" to the permissions. Some APPs don't need full permission to these functions on your mobile device.

@ The FBI has to go to that company that owns the app and try to get them decrypt the app and in most instances they have to go through the court to get authorization to do that as a complex process The case of the gentleman and the iPhone . The FBI couldn’t access the iPhone they did everything they could and they couldn’t access the iPhone. The court refused and they had to take it out of the country somewhere to be decrypted. I may be wrong in my description, but it happened. I will try to make some research about that case it’s been several years and the government don’t just have access like that. Something must be wrong and they have to go deep before they can get into that access and usually the company is involved.

She didn't explain very well. A VPN is a Virtual Private Network. It basically hides you and keeps your IP (Internet Protocol) address hidden while you play mobile games, scroll social media and check bank accounts. I highly recommend you DON'T go to any website that requires a password while you are logged into a public WiFi.
